Ran across the following story about the City of Ottawa fixing a 68
year old typo. in a street name:
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/feriand-street-renaming-comes-68-years-after-typo-1.3270002
Being the SOB that I am I have fixed the typo. on OSM, so what is in
OSM matches the official
ne who can go, do so.
All the best.
